The Book Adaptation Tag

I was tagged by Reg @ Bookish in Bed to do this tag! If you haven’t checked out her blog, go do it right now! I thought this one sounded like a lot of fun (and I finally got up the energy to do it, sorry it took me so long to get to it Reg!!)

Let’s get into it!


What is the last book adaptation movie you saw?

Nimona

The movie was so so good!! I loved it, and I think you need to go watch it right now if you haven’t seen it yet!


What book movie are you most excited about?

Red, White & Royal Blue

I absolutely loved this book! It sparked my love of Casey McQuiston, who is now one of my auto-buy authors. I can’t wait to see what they did with this wonderful novel 🙂


Which upcoming book movie will you definitely not see?

Dune

I have no desire to watch any of the Dune adaptations. It is just not my cup of tea.


Which book movie would you never watch again?

I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie adaptation of Paper Towns. It was just okay, but then, I also thought the book was just okay.

I would like to say the Twilight movies, but I could see myself watching them again if only to laugh at them.


Is there a movie you saw that made you want to read the book if you had not yet?

Nimona

I loved the movie so much, and I have never read the book! It is definitely on the top of my TBR now.


Conversely, is there a movie that made you never want to read the book?

The Da Vinci Code

I thought it was a fine movie, but I was never interested in picking up the books. I didn’t really see what else the books could have possibly offered that the movies didn’t cover. Plus, I’m not a huge adventure novel fan.


Do you prefer to watch the movie first, or read the book first?

I generally like to read the book first when I can, but I am not opposed to watching the movie first.


Is there a movie you liked better than its book?

Howl’s Moving Castle

I absolutely loved the movie, but I found the book just okay. (I know this breaks my husband’s heart, and I’m sorry). It was good, but the movie was better.


Name a book you would love to see as a movie.

Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson

I feel like this series would make an amazing movie, or tv show. It has a fun mystery, a modern and historical timeline, and teens living at a boarding school.

I feel like it is cinema gold!

I would love to see what your answers are!

Do we have any of the same book adaptation opinions? Are there any book adaptations that you think I should watch? Let’s chat in the comments!

Love and happy reading,
